channels-setup

v2026.09.24

Use when a developer wants to build their first CopilotKit Channels agent and get it answering in Slack or Microsoft Teams: "set up a channel", "connect my agent to Slack", "get my agent into Teams", or starting from nothing and wanting a working channel end to end. Covers the whole path: inspecting or scaffolding the project, building the AG-UI agent, creating and reconciling the managed Channel with the public CopilotKit CLI, running the long-running host, and proving a real provider mention gets a reply. The workflow is not in this file. Run `npx --yes copilotkit@latest onboard start` and follow the graph it prints.

Set up a CopilotKit Channel

The workflow is not written down here. Run this command:

npx --yes copilotkit@latest onboard start

Then follow the graph it prints, start to finish.

If the command asks for a CopilotKit CLI session check, you have permission to run it. Never reveal credentials.

Do this

  1. Run npx --yes copilotkit@latest onboard start.
  2. Follow the graph it prints, start to finish.

The graph asks for its own inputs. Do not pre-empt those questions. Do not substitute remembered channel-setup steps for what the graph says. Remembered steps are the reason this file is a pointer.

If the command fails

Stop. Tell the user the command failed. Show them the output. Ask them to retry.

Do not improvise the workflow from memory. It spans the CopilotKit CLI, a managed Channel, provider setup the user does in Slack or Azure, and a long-running runtime host. A half-remembered version produces a project that installs cleanly and answers nothing. That is the most expensive failure available here. It looks finished.
